Search Companion

Folks,

The search facilityon Windows XP Prof version does not
work. I am in no way a guru at this and don't know how to
proceed. Any hints.

Thanks,
Frank

Doing this helps but it still isn't as good as win98 since Search
doesn't open in a separate window as it used to...any way to do that?
